Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Ophthalmoscopy

Abstract

The FLIO device is based on a Heidelberg Spectralis device. Retinal autofluorescence is excited with a 470 nm laser, and fluorescence emission is detected in two distinct wavelength channels by a time-correlated single photon counting system. An infrared camera is used for eye tracking. Imaging of a 30° field of view on the posterior pole is performed. Image data is further processed and analyzed using Becker & Hickl software.
